You're invited to our Futurist Convention!

Dear Families and Friends of House C students,

We invite you to attend our final learner celebration! On Wednesday, June 12, from 9:10AM to 10:30AM in the middle/elementary school library, our students will be holding a FUTURIST CONVENTION.

Students have been diligently researching past and present trends for a topic of their interest. They are using their research and inquiry skills to generate predictions of how that thing might change within their lifetime.

How could robots change the workplace?
What could housing in Milton look like 70 years from now?
What might your great-granddaughter's first car look like?

Possible futures for these topics and others will be revealed!

We recognize that mid-morning may be difficult timing. Still, we hope you can come and mingle among our young futurists and see the good work they have accomplished. If you think you will be able to attend, we'd love to hear back from you.

Thanks!
The Teachers of House C

Milton 250 Celebration

House C would like to thank Paul and Doris Mears & Jim and Linda Ballard for visiting our Humanities class today. They shared photographs, artifacts, and most importantly stories about growing up in Milton. The event was filmed by LCATV and a DVD of the presentation will be placed in the Milton 250 time capsule along with student reactions. I hope to see you all in 2063 when we watch the video together!

Boston Update

From Mr. Smith:


Dear Families,

For students who are going to Boston, there will be a mandatory meeting on Monday, May 13, at 6:00 p.m. in the High School Auditorium.  At this time, we will go over student expectations and what students need to bring to Boston.  At this meeting, students will sign their behavior contract. If you have not already done so, please fill out the attached health form and waiver/release form from Emerson college (these are being sent in an email attachment from Rhonda).  I need both filled out.

For students who are not going to Boston, the expectation is that they will come to school.  There will be special programming for these students in school.

Thank you,
Joe Smith

Health Policy Reminder

Here's a note from the health office:

Dear Parents and Guardians,

There have been a large number of school absences due to illness and a large number of students being sent home due to fevers the past couple of weeks. As we think about ways to minimize the spread of these illnesses, we want to remind families of our school health policies, the relavant parts are printed below:

F6: STUDENT HEALTH

Policy

It is the goal of the Milton Town School District to keep our entire

school population as healthy as possible. We thus implement this student health policy, with the

guidance of the Vermont Department of Education and Vermont Department of Health.

Illness/Communicable Conditions

Students with a known communicable condition (such as, but not limited to

strep throat and conjunctivitis/pink eye) are to remain out of school until they have

received antibiotic therapy for 24 hours. Students who have a fever of 100

degrees or more are required to remain home from school until their

temperature is less than 100 degrees for 24 hours, without ibuprofen or 

acetaminophen. Recommendations of the Vermont Department of Health will be

followed.

If a student comes to school and is suspected of having a communicable

condition, the student shall be sent to the health office, where the

school nurse will determine the need for the student to be sent home. If a

student is sent home for a communicable illness, the health office staff

(school nurse) will work with the family to provide guidance for when the

student can return to school. This is generally after 24 hours of

antibiotic therapy, or 24 hours after symptoms resolve. In cases where a

student has had severe vomiting or diarrhea, we require that students not

return until their symptoms have been resolved for 24 hours and they are

able to resume normal dietary habits. In cases where there are attendance

issues, the school will work with the family to make a plan, possibly

requiring that the student be evaluated by the school nurse before

deciding if the student requires an additional absence.
